🇺🇸⚔️🇲🇽 A Pentagon official admitted behind closed doors that targeted strikes part of Operation Southern Spear might've killed victims of human trafficking rather than drug smugglers

Nine months into the Trump administration’s deadly campaign against so-called drug boats, there is a pattern to the strikes. And a glaring anomaly.

The U.S. military has conducted more than 60 attacks, resulting in over 200 extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. In almost all the strikes, between one and four people lost their lives. In only one strike did the death toll of a single boat reach double digits: the first attack on September 2, 2025.

Since then, experts, lawmakers, and even military officials behind the scenes have been asking a simple but haunting question: Why was that boat packed with 11 people?

“Why would 11 people be on board a boat carrying drugs?” said a government source who attended a classified briefing where the large crew on the first boat attacked was discussed. “It’s a high risk for the cartels. That always stood out.”

🇮🇱🗳 Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes, France says

Israeli firm BlackCore, suspected of interfering in ‌France's local elections in March, is also suspected of meddling in elections in New York City and Scotland, and operating in Angola and Togo, France's disinformation detection service, Viginum, said on Thursday.

Last month, Reuters reported that French authorities suspected BlackCore was behind an online smear campaign targeting three mayoral candidates from the hard-left, pro-Palestine France Unbowed party (LFI) in ​the local elections.

At a press conference on Thursday alongside French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, Viginum chief Marc-Antoine Brillant said technical work had ​led them to BlackCore. Viginum subsequently presented a detailed report on BlackCore's alleged actions around the world.

"This modus operandi ⁠was not limited to municipal elections in France," he said. "It also appears to have been used to carry out foreign digital interference operations in ​other countries or regions, such as Angola, Togo, the elections in Scotland, and the 2025 municipal election in New York."

However, Brillant said it was still ​unclear who had commissioned BlackCore to meddle in France.

Lecornu said the French government had asked Israel for explanations on BlackCore's actions, but also for help in trying to find out who may have ​been behind the smear campaign.

"It goes without saying that obviously we asked them for assistance and explanations," he said. "I do not doubt for a ​single instant that if a French private group, from French soil moreover, had engaged in foreign digital interference in Israel, they would have done the same to its ‌ambassador on ⁠site."

In a subsequent report, Viginum said it detected BlackCore-linked accounts targeting John Swinney, the First Minister of Scotland. Swinney has described the situation ​in Gaza as a "man-made humanitarian catastrophe," saying a genocide may be unfolding, citing civilian casualties, widespread destruction and ​statements by Israeli ⁠officials.

Before scrubbing its online presence following enquiries from Reuters, BlackCore described itself as "an elite ⁠influence, cyber, ​and technology company built for the modern sera of information warfare." It said it ​provided governments and political campaigns with "cutting-edge strategies, advanced tools, and robust security to shape narratives."

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Situation in the Konstantinovka Area, Part VIII. Retreat of the remnants of Ukrainian units from the 100th and 156th Mechanized Brigades from the western part of the city.

Nearly an hour ago, the Russian side released extensive video footage from the flagging of the western part of Konstantinovka. It indicates that Ukrainian units belonging to the 100th and 156th Mechanized Brigades, fearing encirclement, withdrew from that part of the city. There may still be, at most, isolated and encircled Ukrainian resistance points there. Everything suggests that the western part of the city is now under the control of Russian units.

The rapid fall of the western part of Konstantinovka took place amid absolute silence from Ukrainian and foreign media. In recent weeks, mainstream media in EU countries, including Poland, focused exclusively on describing the "great" successes of Ukrainian forces and their alleged halting of the Russian offensive.

🇮🇳🇺🇸 Trump, Modi Look to Patch Up Ties in Shadow of New US Strikes

A possible meeting next week between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump offers a chance to reset ties following a year of strained relations over tariffs, Pakistan, and now, the Iran war.

US forces this week attacked three Indian-crewed vessels in the Gulf of Oman region, killing at least three sailors and prompting protests from New Delhi.

Modi and Trump would likely want to contain the latest tensions and avoid derailing efforts to get relations back on track after a rocky year, analysts said. The expected meeting on the sidelines of the Group of Seven leaders’ summit in France next week would be their first face-to-face since a falling out last year following India’s military clash with Pakistan and Trump’s tariffs.

The highly anticipated meeting would build on steps taken by both countries in recent months to repair damaged ties. Last month, Trump dispatched Secretary of State Marco Rubio for a multi-day visit to India, where he met with multiple Indian officials and with envoys from Japan and Australia as part of a security grouping known as the Quad.

Indian nationals are particularly vulnerable to attacks on commercial shipping. Indians are among the top three nationalities represented aboard such vessels, according to the Indian government, with more 300,000 Indians — about 12% of the global seafaring workforce — working in the industry.

Indian and US trade negotiators have met twice since March, including in Washington in April and during a four-day meeting this month in New Delhi, to resolve outstanding issues. Indian officials have maintained that finalizing the deal is unlikely until the outcome of two so-called Section 301 trade probes.

🇦🇪🤝🇮🇷 UAE and Iran Meet Face-to-Face to Try to Deescalate Tensions

Senior national security officials from the United Arab Emirates and Iran held a face-to-face meeting for the first time since the start of the US-Israeli war against Tehran, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

This week’s meeting marked a stark turnaround for both sides and comes amid their growing acknowledgment of the importance of calmer bilateral ties, the people said, asking not to be named discussing sensitive matters.

The UAE’s leaders want to keep their bold economic ambitions, including investing billions of dollars in increased oil production and in AI data centers, on track. The relationship is important for Tehran too, as the Gulf nation was among the Islamic Republic’s biggest trading partners before the war began and a key conduit for sanctioned Iranian oil.

Abu Dhabi’s latest contact with Iran, the people said, was mainly motivated by the wealthy Gulf state seeking a detente with a regime it considers an enemy but realizes won’t be dislodged from power.

Since the war began in late February, Iran has attacked the UAE the most of any country. Abu Dhabi struck back on multiple occasions and has taken the most aggressive stance among its Arab neighbors toward the Islamic Republic. The UAE appears to be now following the same path as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which have also been hit by Iran and its proxies but are trying diplomacy to de-escalate tensions.

One of the people said the meeting was the culmination of multiple attempts by the Iranians to reestablish high-level dialog with Abu Dhabi. The UAE had held off, they said, to first verify that any interlocutors had a direct line to new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

📝: This explains why Iran hasn't bombed the UAE in recent weeks and targeted only Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan despite the UAE housing American military assets and lending its airspace to the USAF.

A UAE-Iran rapprochement could also be one of the reasons why Trump has "run out" of patience with Iran and started bombing it in order to provoke retaliation from Tehran and derail peace talks.

📉 The World Bank on Thursday cut its global growth forecast for 2026 to 2.5% due to the war in the Middle East, and said growth could slow to just 1.3% if energy supply disruptions prove more severe and come with substantial stress in financial markets.

Global growth reached 2.9% in ‌2025, the bank said in its semi-annual Global Economic Prospects, up 0.2 percentage point from its estimate in January. Its 2026 forecast is down 0.1 percentage point from ‌January, the lowest seen since the COVID pandemic that began in late 2019.

The bank lowered forecasts for two-thirds of countries as a result of the war, with the biggest cuts affecting the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and other countries in the ​Middle East whose energy exports have been hit hard by the conflict.

The World Bank said its baseline forecast assumed an average Brent crude oil price of $94 for the year, up 36% from 2025, and that the worst disruptions to energy supplies would abate by the end of July, with global headline inflation seen at 4%.

It said growth could slow to 2.1% if ⁠the energy disruptions lasted longer and oil prices averaged $115 per barrel this year, which could drive inflation to 4.4%. The outlook would worsen further, with growth decelerating to just 1.3%, if the energy shock affected financial markets, resulting in lower energy prices, greater volatility and weaker confidence, it said.

The bank maintained its forecast of 2.2% growth in the U.S. economy ​in 2026, but said that could taper off to 2.1% in 2027 and 2% in ​2028. The euro area was expected to grow by 0.8% in 2026, down from 1.4% in 2025. Japan's GDP was forecast to grow 0.7% in 2026, ‌down from 1.1% in 2025.

It slashed its forecast for GDP growth in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan by 2.7 percentage points to 1.6% in 2026, down from 4% in 2025, but said growth in the region could rebound to 5% in 2027.

The United Arab Emirates was expected to see growth of ​2.4% in 2026, down sharply from the January forecast of 5% ‌and the 2025 rate of 6.2%. The bank also lowered Turkey's 2026 GDP growth forecast by 0.9 percentage point to 2.8%.

The World Bank said India remained the fastest-growing ​large economy in the world, with its GDP seen growing by 6.6% in 2026, after growth of 7% in 2025. Growth rates in India were expected to remain ​fairly high for the next two decades, Gill said.
